What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. As no specific injuries, illnesses, or critical failures are reported in the source text, and the issue is described generally as a 'software issue,' it fits the Moderate category for a precautionary or low-risk software defect.
